With his Geass power back and Rolo now under his thumb,
Lelouch begins to rebuild the Black Knights in preparation for a new
revolution. All seems well until Suzaku
returns to Ashford to keep an eye on him.
And just when Lelouch thinks he’s gotten the upper hand, it’s revealed
the Nunally is set to be the new viceroy of Area 11…and she plans on
reactivating the Special Zone for the Japanese.
With his younger sister being used as a pawn against him, will Lelouch
be able to continue his battle as Zero…when the cost could include killing the
one person he started this all for?
Hard as it is to accept, the problems that started with
the season premiere look like theyre here to stay…and theyre bringing friends
too. Rolo’s still an unnecessary
pain. The attempts at school humor are
back (even another crack at a giant Pizza).
And for some reason that little girl from the Chinese Federation, Kaguya
(?), thinks she’s still important to Zero…sigh.
Plus we got a little more of Suzaku’s fellow Knights of the Round, Gino
(who looks like Graham Acker’s cousin…not a good thing) and Anya, who is Code
Geass’s equivalent of our modern day social media twitter junky…with no
emotions…God can we not get anymore interesting characters in this show.
Well on the plus side, once we got past the School
Festival, things started to seem a little normal for a bit. And by normal I mean the story got good
again. Having Nunally become the new
Euphie is a bold move and was a fun shake up for Lelouch, who found himself
unable to continue fighting because of his sisters new role. Seeing him wander aimlessly, try to get
Kallen to “console” him, and best of all, using Geass on random people to do
his bidding were all things I feel we have been bound to see if Lelouch ever
really broke and it was good stuff. But
wow, I never expected the Student Council to ever come through. But if Lelouch found a reason to continue
fighting through them…though why he’d imagine Nina in the same mental image of
them I don’t know…id just erase her but that’s just me…then I guess I have to
give credit where credit is due…not bad you guys.
For all the crap I give the Knights of the Round, they do
make for some pretty entertaining mecha pilots.
Gino’s double scythed mech was pretty cool, think if Wing Gundam and
Gundam Deathsythe had an offspring and boom.
Also, apparently everyone can fly now, including Kallen and her Gurren
and im oddly ok with that, if only so we can see things go a little Macross for
a little bit. On a side note, is there
like a hidden camera in the bottom of the Gurren’s cockpit. I can look past Kallen becoming a bunny girl
in the premiere but the botty shots are just wow…there’s smart fanservice (Like
Violetta in a swimsuit at a maid cafe) and then there’s the desperate
kind. Sorry, Kallen’s ok hot (there are
hotter on this show) but even gratuitous booty shots aren’t going to help me
forget about this seasons problems.
The season isn’t back on track, not even close. But at least it looks like we’re stepping
back in a better direction.
